For lesions in the common femoral artery, guidelines recommend surgical endarterectomy (TEA) as the gold standard. However, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an alternative option for these lesions. In 2017 the first randomized study comparing TEA vs EVT was carried out, showing that EVT presents clinical benefits, though it does not replace surgical treatment as first…
MR CLEAN Registry: “Time is Brain” is a Far More Accurate than “Time is Heart”
Time to endovascular treatment after ischemic stroke is strongly associated to functional outcomes. This association could be even stronger than previously suggested in more select populations of controlled studies. These findings emphasize that functional outcomes after endovascular treatment could be improved significantly by reducing onset to treatment times. Randomized studies in select acute…
